And there it is! This is a great song from U2 and pretty fun to play. It might not be a very good tab as this is my first shot at writing tabs. If you have any comments, suggestions, or even insults, send them to stephgurl2000@hotmail.com. To make it a bit easier for people playing the acoustic sections, I've written them along with the lyrics. Have fun!

And love is not the easy thing

DAGEDEG
And if the darkness is to keep, us a-part...
DEG
And if the daylight feels like it's, a long way, off...
DAG
And if your glass heart should crack
E
And for a second you turn back
DEA
Oh no Be strong oh...oh....
DA
Walk on Walk on
G
What you got they can't steal it
E
No they can't even feel it
DA
Walk on Walk on
GE
Stay safe tonight
DEG
You're packing a suitcase for a place, none of us has been...
DEG
A place that has to be believed, to be, seen
DA
You could have flown away
GE
A singing bird, in an open cage
DEA
Who will, only fly, only fly, for freedom Oh...oh....
DA
Walk on Walk on
G
What you've got they can't deny it
E
Can't sell it, or buy it
DA
Walk on Walk on....
GE
You stay safe tonight
DA
And I know it aches, and your, heart it breaks
E
And you can only take so much
DAGE
Walk.... On......
DAGA
Walk.... On.....
DEG
Home.......Hard to know what that is, if you've never had one
DEG
Home.......I can't say where it is, but I know I'm going
DEG
Home........That's where the hurt is
DA
And I know it aches, and your, heart it breaks
E
And you can only take so much
DAEA
Walk on Hooooo........
DAGE
Leave it behind You've got to leave it behind
DA
All that you fashion, all that you make
GE
All that you build, all that you break
DA
All that you measure, all that you feel
GA
All this you can, leave behind
DA
All that you reason, needs only time
GE
All that I'm feelin on my mind
DA
All that you sense, All that you scheme
GE
All you dress up and all that you seem
